Dale, I think the bookmarks are a lovely idea. Those pearly buttons are a treasure! Your cousins socks are just a gorgeous colour. It will be nice to see your journal hung up. Hope you have good luck with the gardening and your shoulder.💕
Hi Dale. I am a recent subscriber, avid crafter and suffer from CRPS (full body) but I prefer to concentrate on lovely, beautiful, gentle things especially made by those who love the Lord. You sound like you too have been afflicted over the recent times but get on with it and I find solace and contentment watching your lovely creating. Supporting your husband in his Ministry, I imagine, takes a lot of your time and thoughts. I will add you both to my prayers and isn't it wonderful: this internet world where you can share ideas and beautiful experiences? Recently, I have found some new podcasts like Marion's World and Mousiemakes, just for example. I modify a lot of my processes for crafting. For example, I love gardening but I find it difficult to use my hands so I tie a big old spoon to my hand and go for it. I got a bit of help for a few weeks so (I am in Australia so just the very tail end of summer here) I can keep the garden nicer. People, like the mailman and people who walk by have commented nice things about it and I enjoy their chats. Sewing and quilting are another activity that I use different techniques to most, holding a needle can be interesting but I fold bits and bobs and do short stints. There are many out there who will offer tips and techniques to get around when body bits go awry. People are so very generous and kind and I so appreciate it. God Bless! I won't comment much in the future but you sounded like you had been through the wars, recently and I just wanted to support and encourage you, letting you know how much people like me appreciate and find joy in people like you. I found comfort, yesterday, when I was quite weary in James 1....."count it all joy"...I am so grateful to be here enjoying my family and neighbours in such a time as this. To God the glory.
Thank you Gail. And Welcome to Erndales! Your words and support are very much appreciated. My recent affliction is frustrating me no end, but I have been through much worse in the past ( cancer twice), and I know that this too shall pass. My faith is strong, and I have a wonderful supportive family, and friends here on my channel, who are so lovely. I am blessed! I love Marion’s world, she is such a talented artist and such a beautiful soul. I hope you have had a nice summer. Spring is slow to arrive here, but today we lost a lot of our snow cover, so things are definitely looking up! Take care of yourself, and thanks for watching!
